Do you still have questions after reading this list? Don’t hesitate to contact us via info@madeinasia.be!
The COVID SAFE TICKET will allow entry to Made In Asia if you :
1. Can show a vaccination schedule (2 doses of Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca or 1 dose of Johnson & Johnson) that is completed at least 2 weeks ago
OR
2. Show a negative PCR test that is less than 48 hours old
o Validity: day of collection + 2 days (end of validity at 23:59)
OR
3. Present a NEGATIVE ANTIGENIC TEST less than 24 hours old
o Validity: day of collection + 1 day (expires at 23:59)
OR
4. Have a Certificate of Recovery following a positive PCR test (dated more than 10 days and less than 180 days ago) via the CovidSafeBE application or to be printed via the mijngezondheid.be website.
Download the CovidSafeBe app and simply present your Covid Safe Ticket at the festival entrance via the app or in paper form. The ticket inspector will scan it via an official app to check its validity.
They will also check whether your identity matches the one on the certificate. This can be done using, for example, an ID card, passport or driving license.
It is really very simple, here is a tutorial on the application: click HERE.
For several reasons! Firstly, because the government requires the festival organisation to check your safety via the COVID Safe Ticket. Secondly, because the Made in Asia festival is above all known for its friendly atmosphere. The COVID Safe Ticket ensures that the risk of contamination is kept to a minimum and that the festival is held in conditions similar to those we have all known and loved in the past. The most famous conventions (San Diego Comic Con, New York Comic Con…) also apply the same access conditions to guarantee the safety of their events.
From the age of 12, you will be asked to show your Covid Safe Ticket.
Yes, the PCR test is valid for 48 hours. The antigen test is valid for 24 hours.
- If you are from an EU member state, you can present the European Digital COVID Certificate via your country’s app.
- If you do NOT have an EU COVID Certificate from another member state, you will have to get tested in Belgium to obtain a certificate. Plan to arrive the day before or a few hours before the festival so that you have time to get your certificate after your test.
You have two options: a PCR test OR an antigenic test carried out in a pharmacy.
- For the PCR test: validity = day of sampling + 48h (2 days).
- For a rapid antigenic test performed by a properly trained health professional (in a pharmacy): validity = day of sampling + 24 hours (1 day).
Self-tests that you can buy in a pharmacy and perform yourself are not valid for access to the festival.

Then, you must first download your COVID Safe Ticket from mijngezondheid.belgie.be or reseausantewallon.be or brusselshealthnetwork.be.
Then print it and present yourself with your COVID Safe Ticket, your ID card and your ticket at the entrance of the festival.

No, there are no testing facilities at the entrance to the festival. You must have done your test before coming.
This is strongly recommended: two precautions are better than one! However, we can assure you that everyone at the festival will have provided proof of a negative test / vaccination / recovery from COVID within the requested period.
No. As long as you are not inside the festival and you have not passed the “COVID Safe Ticket” check, you will have to respect the measures in force: social distancing, masks… You will have to respect these measures in the surrounding car parks, in the street… depending on the governmental decisions planned for October.
We also strongly recommend that you keep your mask on and respect the social distancing within the festival in order to reduce the risks as much as possible.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR SAFETY
Your safety has always been one of our top priorities, and now more than ever. We’ve implemented new guidelines and policies to make our events and venues the cleanest and safest places to meet and do business. Every attendee, including visitors, exhibitors, partners and staff are expected to comply with our health and safety requirements.
This Health & Safety protocol was created in partnership with SGS and is designed to ensure your safety and peace of mind while attending our event..
To ensure the safety of the event, everyone entering will be required to provide a:
- Valid Covid Safe Ticket
- Identity Card
- Valid entry ticket
For Made in Asia, everyone must present a Covid Safe Ticket: visitors, exhibitors, stand personnel and staff. A valid Covid Safe Ticket is issued to:
- Holders of a valid vaccination certificate who have been fully vaccinated for more than 2 weeks
- Holders of a recovery certificate less than 6 months old
- Those who have a negative PCR test taken no more than 48 hours prior to the trade show
- Those who have a quick antigen test administered by medically trained personnel no more than 24 hours prior to the trade show
Take into account that a PCR test has a limited validity of just 48 hours after the day of testing. Antigen tests are only valid for 24 hours after the day of testing. In other words, you may have to get tested again during the trade show.
For more information on obtaining a Covid Safe Ticket, its validity and use, please visit : https://covidsafe.be/en.

One-way aisles and directional walkways
At this event, we have implemented one-way aisles and/or directional walkways. One-way-only aisles will help to manage traffic and minimise crowding. They will also make it easier for you to respect the social distancing rules and avoid crossing the paths of other visitors and fellow exhibitors.
On paths where there is enough room for people to walk in both directions, please keep to your side as indicated by the directional arrows.
OPTIONAL:
ADD ONLY IF APPLICABLE TO THE EVENT:
Maximum capacity in conference rooms
Conference areas will also allow for social distancing, with 1.5 metres between chairs. This means there will be limited capacity, so please arrive early. Some chairs may be marked as unavailable. Please respect this instruction and do not move the chairs.
STAY HOME IF YOU FEEL ILL
Finally, as much as we want to see you at our events, we kindly ask you to respect everyone’s health and safety. If you feel at all ill – including mild cold symptoms or a high temperature – please stay at home.
Temperature screenings
Automatic temperature screenings before you enter the event will tell us if you have a temperature of 38° or above. If this is the case, take a seat in the designated area for ten minutes and we will measure your temperature again. If on a second screening your temperature has fallen below 38°, no problem, welcome! If your temperature is still above 38°, we will be unable to grant you admission. We recommend that you check your temperature before leaving home as a precaution and to avoid any inconvenience.
Face Masks
Face masks are not obligatory at our event. We kindly recommend that you wear a face mask upon entering the event, especially in closed or crowded spaces.
Plexiglass shields
Plexiglass shields will be installed at registration desks, information points, catering points and all counters staffed by team members throughout the event floor.
Crowd density standards
To ensure appropriate physical distancing during CCR we will control the number of people present in the event halls at all times, in accordance with local guidance.
Elbow bumps replace handshakes!
Handshakes are “on hold” for the time being! We know this is tough, as a handshake is the natural form of business greeting. We suggest you greet with an elbow bump. Alternatively, a nice “air kiss” is a friendly way to greet. A simple wave or a thumbs-up will also do nicely. So long as the greeting is without physical contact … feel free to use your own style.
Online registration and touchless scanning
Please register online before the event, as registration onsite is not possible. You can either print out your admission voucher, which has a barcode, or bring it on your mobile device. You will then be able to scan the barcode at one of our touchless scanning stations. If you register more than 3 weeks prior to the event, you will more than likely receive your badge in the post saving you time and eliminating overcrowding at registration.
Online ticket sales
If you are registering for ISAPS Symposium UK, Tapan Patel’s Anatomy & Cadaver Masterclass or the ACE Group World Conference, please purchase your ticket online in advance, as this will not be possible onsite. You can either print out your ticket, which has a barcode, or bring it on your mobile device. You will then be able to scan the barcode at one of our touchless scanning stations.
